I always have service in manassas, barley a time when I dont

Great service but only with a quad band phone Cingular service here utlizes the 850 frequency so most tri band phones. Almost all tri band phones don't utilize the 850 band freq. I get okay service with tri band phones 1 bar in doors and 3 outside.

Virgin Mobile uses the SprintPCS network, so this applies to Sprint users as well. Coverage at the intersection of PWC Pkwy. and Moore Dr.is full bars as the hidden tower is located on the golf course grounds. This fills a huge gap and really helps reception on the parkway. This is also thanks in part to the PWC Police cars using SprintPCS for thier radio-modems. Sprint coverage is among some of the best in this area, hardly finding a spot where I can't make a call.

real good except on my front porch and areas within my house

My Verizon Wireless service has been almost perfect all over the Northern Virginia area and all over the state of Virginia when I travel (I-81). I've run into only a few brief dead spots where I lose calls. Cellular doesn't get any better than this. Around Manassas I don't have any dead spots at all.

I recently purchased an iPad2, and use AT&T, for data only. In the past couple months since getting it, I've had great service everywhere I've been.

I've had Sprint since moving to the DC area in 1998, and have always had good service at home in Manassas, all around the metro area, and on the Interstates. Signal is hit or miss in the Metro, but usually works in bigger stations. Covage is weak in outlying rural areas where some of my friends live, like between Manassas and Warrenton, but unless you go well off the beaten path, service is great. 3G works well everywhere I've been, but 4G is rare or weak.

cell reception comes and goes. wavers beteween 2-4 bars while in my outside& outside in the yard

Good to Perfect in the Centreville and Manassas areas

Sprint PCS was the answer to poor Manassas area reception. With antenna raised, I get excellent reception throughout Clifton. With it down, I still get calls, even inside my house. On roaming, I have seamless coverage everywhere, but it really isn't necessary. I think the key is a well designed phone for PCS. The Samsung is put together well, and seems to perform.

ranges usually between 2-6 bars but as long as I have service sound is crystal clear

The stretch between the PW PKWY and Rt 66 I always loose my call it just dies. Also most of linton hall rd in gainsville bristow area signal sucks or there is none! but usaully every where else its pretty good.

My service is generally decent except for in my home. I have little to no understanding due to the fact that I live on the 3rd floor in an apartment building. My husbands phone is excellent (Samsung A660).

Very spotty reception in this area of Manassas, especially indoors. Also can confirm poor or no reception along Rt. 28 between Chantilly and Centreville. It happened with my old Nokia 6310i as well.

Inside the house-forget it!nice that i have free weekends because I CAN"T USE THEM INDOORS. On route 28 and rural roads-i pray that i will not get stuck. often i must dial a number several times before i get through. my father has verizon and it works great inside of my house- i am switching.

Signal is very weak all around the house and inside it is usually non-existant. This is true for most carriers, not just Verizon.

Near the "back" (SE side) of the neighborhood, Varizon wireless service is almost nonexistant - enough of a signal to make the phone ring but not enough to hear or be heard by the caller.

Between zero and one bar - difference of inches -- inside or outside -- horrible!

Tmobile reception in this area is poor at best. The closest tower from the area I listed is at 234 and the parkway. Heading east on the parkway it's not untill you get down across the bridge that the Davis Ford Rd. tower kicks in for a brief stretch. Reception in manassas is ok, but spotty due to lack of towers. mall reception improved. reception in clifton is amazingly impressive where as 66 coverage is spotty. Unless you have a specific reason for getting TMobile, do yourself a favor and don't.

phone doesn't get much reception along this area
